Last week I walked into Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem. This is a fascinating area in the Central Tasmania highlands with a superb amphitheatre of mountains surrounding a collection of alpine tarns, grasslands and forests.
This magical landscape, that I have experienced in all 4 seasons, has accepted my presence 26 times now. Despite seeing much heavier use than when I first discovered it in 1989, it is still a wonderful place to visit. Fortunately there is now a system to manage numbers to a sensible level within the park and this helps maintain its value to all that visit it.
It is the coldest place I have slept in in Tasmania at -14°C. It is also notable in the summer months as being a great place to observe Tassie’s beautiful Tiger snake, usually several times on each trip.
I used Mont’s brilliant 4 season alpine integral pitch tent, the Supercell along with my luxurious 680 Helium sleeping bag last week. Over the years I have slept in the Moondance 1 FN, Moondance 2, Epoch, Dragonfly, Krypton and now the Supercelland all of these tents have provided safe and secure shelter.
I thought it might be worthwhile putting a few images together that I have captured over the years.

I had brought my Mont Helium 680 with me. A luxurious bag rated to -12°C for warm sleepers, it is perfectly suited to Tasmania’s cooler months. Ice crusted the ground and tent the next morning and checking my temperature sensor I was surprised to see that the temperature had dropped to -7.7°C overnight. That is remarkably cool for late October in Tassie!

At Mont Adventure Equipment, we believe that quality gear, people, and the planet deserve care. That’s why we only participate in only one yearly sale event that falls on Black Friday.

Tasmania has had a burst of late snowfalls recently and I headed up into the mountains yesterday to take advantage of a patch of fine weather. Unfortunately, the snow has coincided with very windy weather which makes conditions in the mountains challenging (but invigorating) for photography.

An amazing place! Winter in there looks magical, wish I was confident to camp/walk in such weather. Great shots!!
